In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (98mph) and Slider (91mph), also mixing in a Fourseam Fastball (98mph) and Curve using a Knuckle Curve grip (89mph). He also rarely throws a Change (89mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has slight armside run and has some natural sinking action. Their slider is thrown extremely hard, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has short glove-side cut and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, has some natural sinking action and has slight armside run. Their curve using a knuckle curve grip is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves, has a sharp downward bite and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it.
